In Search of Cindy McCain

Presidents who had affairs:

JOHN F. KENNEDY - Welll know womanizer with many affairs.

BILL CLINTON - We all remember Monika.

LYNDON B. JOHNSON - He was a competitive womanizer. When people mentioned Kennedy's many affairs, Johnson would bang the table and declare that he had more women by accident than Kennedy ever had on purpose. http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/98apr/lbj.htm

WARREN HARDING - Known as a "good fellow," Harding enjoyed being liked more than he prized being a good leader. Though Harding was never linked to any crooked deals, the public was aware of his affairs with at least two women. Carrie Phillips, who had been a German sympathizer during the war, tried to blackmail Harding and was paid hush money by the Republican Party. Nan Britton, a pretty blond thirty years younger than the President, was given a job in Washington, D.C., so that she could be near Harding. The two often met in the Oval Office, and their affair continued until Harding's death. http://millercenter.org/academic/americanpresident/harding/essays/biography/1


U.S. Presidents who had children out of wedlock

THOMAS JEFFERSON - In 1999, DNA tests proved compatible with the possibility that Jefferson had fathered Eston Hemings, Sally's youngest son.

GROVER CLEVELAND - During his first presidential bid, when he was a bachelor, his scheming opponents accused him of fathering a child out of wedlock???a charge Cleveland readily admitted to be true. http://www.audiobooksonline.com/0786193735.html

Warren Harding He was also a rake and rambling boy, keeping company with a mistress even while occupying the White House, and allegedly fathering an out-of-wedlock child.

Obama said that religion is and always has been a fundamental and absolutely essential source of morality for the nation, but he also said that "religion has no monopoly on morality," which is a point I often make. The United States is not the Christian theocracy that people like James Dobson seem to think it should be. Political appeals, even if rooted in religious convictions, must be argued on moral grounds rather than as sectarian religious demands -- so that the people (citizens), whether religious or not, may have the capacity to hear and respond. Religious convictions must be translated into moral arguments, which must win the political debate if they are to be implemented. Religious people don't get to win just because they are religious. They, like any other citizens, have to convince their fellow citizens that what they propose is best for the common good -- for all of us, not just for the religious.

Instead of saying that Christians must accept the "the lowest common denominator of morality," as Dobson accused Obama of suggesting, or that people of faith shouldn't advocate for the things their convictions suggest, Obama was saying the exact opposite -- that Christians should offer their best moral compass to the nation but then engage in the kind of democratic dialogue that religious pluralism demands. Martin Luther King Jr. perhaps did this best, with his Bible in one hand and the Constitution in the other.

Lori - you are truly a whack job and he great moralist. I never advocated people smoking pot on the job no more than I would condone drinking on the job. The bottom line is how can you support legalized alcohol without legalizing pot? Oh, that's right. You're in charge of morals for the rest of us.

Now, to the REAL question. Why are you SO interested in the Clinton's sex life and you're now calling Obama the Messiah - that's truly sick. Did Bill turn you down? For the record, since you seem to believe that you are the moral compass for everyone, how come you are not ranting about GWB - he's a perfect role model - former drunk, drug user, DUI. And, then once he became President, he lied to get us into war killing and wounding 1000s if not 100,000s including Iraqis; who bankrupted this country with his voodoo economics, who outed a CIA operative, who signed sweetheart deals with Haliburton, who turned this country into an international pariah...he should be impeached and thrown from office. That's the type of morality that you should expend your enormous energy towards handling. Or is it OK with you that John McCain cheated on his wife with a much younger woman. Let's hear some moralizing about that? Or is all you can do is spew hate towards the Clintons? Frankly, I believe you are so full of hate for the Clintons that you are blind to everything else that is important. Get a life.

Floridadave, Nearly everyone over the age of 55 has served in the Armed Forces and that includes me. I was in the Navy. When i say almost everyone that of course doean't include your idols, Ole Rushbo and Dick Cheney. My having been is the service doesn't give me any in depth knowledge of how a war or national security should be conducted. You certainly don't have a clue. It 's Arlington National Cemetary. Anyone who has been there wouldn't shorten it's name.

Now i don't want to be too hard on you because you serve a purpose on this blog. You are the quintessential mouth-breather and are a perfect example of the lunatic fringe of the Republican party. John mcCain appeals to you because he is you. A person willing to send young women and men to their deaths in Iraq to realize his own ambition. You're ignorant, semi-educated and are easily led by those who are just a little smarter than you, like Limbaugh and Hannity types.

I guess i'm just being a lefty, yuk, yuk,yuk,duh.

Here is the truth about the shallow candidate with a smile:

Don't like liberals?

Fine, then give them back...

Our clean air and water standards, workers safety protections, the 40 hour work week, the soicial security program, the civil rights movement, the equal rights movement, the free speech movement, discrimination protections, the school lunch program, birth control, rural electrification, organized labor, child labor laws, the minimum wage, employee health care benefits, public assistance, Americans with disabilitiesAct, fair housing legislation, The Freedom of Information Act, The voting Rights Act, food and drug safety regulations, Federally subsidized student loans, collective bargaining...

and everything else they have done to put power back in the hands of the individual, and out of the hands of the conservative ruling and corporate elite.

The comment trashing the McCains is so full of trash that any intelligent person can see the motivation for posting it. Go talk amongst your liberal friends about how you will defend your race-bating candidate about all their black theologian white hating friends they have consorted with for over 20 years. We can all be concerned about how many of them will be appointed to the cabinet if he and Michelle end up in thethewhitehouse house

Cindy McCain will make a great First Lady...beautiful, elligent, intelligent...haven't seen anything in the papers about her having to apologize for "misspeaking"...reciting racist epitaphs..or setting on a pew for twenty years with her eyes and ears evidently closed...
I see an accomplished humanitarian who has helped alot of people, using her weatlh and influence...even so far as to bring the children into her home...I don't see a winer claiming the same old racial crap, that we've been hearing for the fiftysix years of my life...Obama and his wife were poor little black kids...but they went to the best of schools..how does that happen??? Michelle Obama was the poor little black girl, who's dad worked for the city...no he wasn't a mayor or city councilman..just an average guy..on a city salary, but was a leader in the Democratic Party...wow..how did she end up at Princeton and Harvard??? must have sold alot of cans and bottles..give me a break. Obama may be our next President...I will pray for him as I always pray for our leaders...I just hope if he does win, he leads, and is not just puppet who makes his decisions by following the polls....George W. Bush has gone against the grain...he lead us out of the rubble of 9/11...and yes, he led us to war...but, although unpopular, there are three less murderers....Hussain and his lunatic sons...whom their own people feared...Iraq will settle it's differences...we as Americans are now more aware of our vulnerability, so perhaps it will be awhile before we're attacked again...hopefully when we are, the man or woman in the White House, will have the balls to go after the ones that did it and make them think twice before doing it again...and be ready for them if they try...that is what George Bush has done...there is a reason there has only been three Democrats elected President in the last forty years...it's called good judgement...!! poet1951

Honesty, I have done alot with my years and I am not nearly as old. I have been down in the trenches and helped poor children, many of whom do not have adequate health care. Its a lot of blood sweat and tears, not something that a rich far removed ice queen could fathom much less identify with. Show me a woman who has developed something useful to mankind, has sacrificed themselves for the freedoms of others, someone with real character that put themselves on the line to achieve something of value to posterity and I might be a lot more impressed. "She sits on the charity board" just doesn't do a lot for me, sorry.

Speaking as a Navy wife, Cindy is nothing like a military wife. She chooses to stay away from her husband where as no other Navy wife chooses separation. We go to the extreme lengths of constantly moving around the country so that we can be with our husbands as much as possible. She CHOOSES that her children and she are away from him so that she can live as SHE chooses. Perhaps her hardness of nature is why she looks so hard whenever you see her. She is hurting her husbands chances of election. After all if she doesn't choose to be near him or let their children be influenced by him why should we elect him and honor his judgment when she doesn???t? The very least she could do is soften her looks. Her makeup is too gaudy and her hair too severe. Softening her hair and makeup is a merchandising necessity. Perhaps it would help those who are not so well informed lean McCain's way instead of questioning his judgment in marrying such a shrew.

|Obama: Decriminalize pot
Thursday, January 31, 2008

Last fall during a nationally televised presidential debate, Sen. Barack Obama hesitantly raised his hand and joined with most of his Democratic rivals to declare that he opposed decriminalizing marijuana.

But as a candidate for the U.S. Senate four (4) years ago, Mr. Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use or possession, according to a videotape of a little noticed debate that was obtained by The Washington Times.

I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws, Mr. Obama told an audience during a debate at Northwestern University in 2004. But I am not somebody who believes in legalization of marijuana.

Cindy McCain and John McCain have done many remarkable things in their lifetime. On the other hand Barack Hussein Obama, not so much. He voted against banning partial birth abortion. His religious convictions are very murky. Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants. Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing. At least McCain has served this country. As for Obama's wife just not too long ago said "She is NOW proud to be an American". Why couldn't she have before? I guess she was never proud to be in the country? Think about who you vote for this year because Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham. But for many Americans out there feeling just like a surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, the real story is what happens when it hits shore .

---VOTE FOR MCCAIN 2008---

Pathetic. You white posters would be all over Obama's wife if it was revealed she was a thief, drug addict, liar...All this Oh-she's-so-special $hit makes me want to vomit. No doubt this is only the tip...and no doubt when the rest of her law-breaking antics surface, you whites will be crying, "poor baby". You people are pathetic.

To the person who wrote "Obama will win in a landslide in November", here is a fact: The nation will learn the truth about this shallow, smiling face. His 20 year CLOSE relationship with a racist preache named Reverand Wright will be front and center. This CLOSE advisor has stated that black people's brains and white people's brains are different, that Jesus was oppressed by WHITE people, because, as he said, "the Romans were Italians and the Italians are white". Oh sure, let this sham of a candidate into the White House. By November, the man who has done MORE for his nation than any candidate in recent memory WILL win. Obama is a smiling idiot and the most of the people with "white guilt" will finally get the message. And Obama will raise taxes like no one else in history. Unless you are at the lowest end of the earnig spectrum. McCain was the one man who fought the BS in Washington more than any Republican or Democrat and reading some of what people are writig is amazing. But the truth WILL come out on Obama and it's just starting.

holly is actually correct. michelle obama was advised to correct what she said so people like you can drink the koolaid. obama is a straight ticket to bigger government, higher taxes, and he is not pulling out of Iraq right away like most people think. universal healthcare is a joke. would you honestly be excited about being on a waiting list to have a life saving operation? do your homework. here is michelle's quote....

Cindy and John McCain are truly honorable people. They don't ring their own bell and tell you all they have done for charity and to help others. Yet the racist Michelle Obama does nothing but whine...while she and Barack take and benefit from all that America has to offer! Do some research before you condemn others.
